Recommend me some good music.

Hmmm diversity.

Tom Waits, well, he's Tom Waits.

Fela Kuti, one of the inventors of Afro-Beat.

The Monks, a bunch of G.I.s playing in Germany during the 60's, they are the anti-Beatles and I love them for it.

Funkadelic, George Clinton and Bootsy Collins, a match made in heaven.

Dr John, see if you can find his early stuff, particularly Gris Gris.

Get a "best of" of Blood Sweat and Tears. I like their early stuff more myself but they had good stuff throughout their career.

Patti Smith, you should own Horses.

Bruce Springsteen, you should own Nebraska.

edit: You like country? You know about Gram Parsons right?

Everything Pink Floyd circa 1971-1979

Well, I listen to quite a bit of rap. Nothing mainstream, however.

I reccomend these three artists.

Spoiler: Krizz Kaliko

Spoiler: Tech N9ne

And my personal favorite because he brings a southern flavor to rap.

Spoiler: Boondox

The Killers put out stuff that has always done well with mainstream.

I also recommend Flogging Molly. It is something between punk/alternative, and Irish folk themes.

I have recently become a fan of Silver Sun Pickups, but you have to be prepared to hear a really high voice for a dude singing.
